The silver CC shocks would look good on this build.

You could run the gold shocks and go with a Green Goblin paint scheme. Would have to fabricate a pumpkin bomb launcher though. Maybe B.A. and Murdock still have the blueprints to that lettuce head cannon. You could just scale that down. :D Further research indicates it was, in fact, a cabbage cannon.

Didn’t think I’d like the green so much!

Am I the only one who used a 4-40 tap in the ball cups!? lol I’d have given up on them w/o the tap, nothing I had here could hold the cups without destroying them.

Green needs the front bling IMHO

Oven cleaner is the easiest and fastest method, just don't leave it in there too long, 5 - 10 minutes at a time.

The original yellow can Easy-off is what you’re going to want to use. Your going to have to babysit it but it’ll definitely get it done and quick

These were mostly stripped with Easy-Off. I used a Dremel and brass wire wheel to remove any remnants.

Never tried the cleaner degreaser only the aerosol heavy duty oven cleaner.

Same.

I usually get the cheap stuff at Dollar Tree. It isn't quite as strong as the more expensive ones but still works.

I’m thinking that’s probably just a degreaser…..

I’m thinking that’s probably just a degreaser…..IMG_1550.jpeg It has the same Sodium Hydroxide (lye) in it, that the aerosol does. Here's the proof :) https://i.imgur.com/Y6g430B.jpg https://i.imgur.com/wI6Hmof.jpg I did want the inside of the shocks left orange. What's everybody using to polish th...

I myself really like working with a cream polish like these…
